Darning Sampler Weekend Class

Service Description

Darning Sampler Weekend Class A special 2 day workshop with embroidery tutor Nao Nagamura of Goodness Makes learning the mindful art of darning by hand. A darning sampler is an embroidered cloth created by girls in European countries between the 17th and 19th centuries to practice their darning skills. Traditionally, the darning technique mended holes and tears in the fabric with matching thread colours. However, in darning samplers, brightly coloured threads were used to refine the technique and make it easier to see. In this 2 day class, you will learn to create four beautiful darning patterns. As an optional addition, you can also learn reversible stitches (four-sided stitch and marking stitch) to add your initials and a hemming stitch to finish your creation. This workshop is suitable for all skill levels. Join us for a rewarding experience where you can craft precisely and enjoy the soothing benefits. The kit includes 28-count even-weave linen, threads, needles, and instructions. Nao is an artist and brand owner of Goodness Makes, trained at the Royal School of Needlework, she aims to create kits and products as sustainably as possible, so all the materials and packaging were chosen with sustainability in mind. @goodnessmakes www.goodnessmakes.notion.site Kit price is included in class fee, hoops will be provided on the day but please feel free to bring along your own hoop and sewing kit.
